-
1Identify exposure identify
grep -r 'apache-airflow' . | grep -v node_modulesリポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で `apache-airflow` を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

3Hunt for indicators of compromise detect
grep 'DELETE /api/v2/dags/{dag_id}/dagRuns/{dag_run_id}/taskInstances' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -E '(unusual_payload|sqli_pattern)'アクセスログで `DELETE /api/v2/dags/{dag_id}/dagRuns/{dag_run_id}/taskInstances` への異常なリクエスト (不正な認証ヘッダ・SQLメタ文字)を過去 30〜90日分捜索。WAF/SIEM があれば該当パスのアラート発火履歴を確認。

6Apply patch patch
Upgrade apache-airflow to 3.2.2ステージング環境で 3.2.2 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスと、Step 3 で見つけた異常検知の続報チェックを含めること。

7Post-deployment verification verify
Replay attack against DELETE /api/v2/dags/{dag_id}/dagRuns/{dag_run_id}/taskInstances on staging to confirm patch closes the vectorパッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番では Step 3 と同じログクエリでアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
